The Candrasekhara temple at Tiruchchendurai has inscriptions on its walls that cover almost the whole of the Chola period. According to an inscription Pudi Adichcha Pidariyar, queen of Parantaka I is credited with the construction of this temple with stone (karrali). The stone temple was already in existence in 909 CE when a stone structure replaced a brick structure. A certain formal nearness of this building to the Muvarkovil, together with the style of pilaster decorations and bhutas of the bhutamala, seem to warrant a date in or before 894 CE. References: M.W.
